A very talented and misunderstood rapper, real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers lll, He had a rough upbringing, his father left him when he was just a baby, and his mom was mentally ill with münchausen symdrome and used to beat him constamely, as Eminem admitted to in the 1999 interview with Howard Stern. He was bullied growing up, and one time he got beaten so bad he got a concussion and had to relearn basic skills slowly to regain his full consciousness, this experience was inspired by his song "brain damage". This is why Eminem is well respected, because all of his music has a reason, and comes from personal experience, but this is also why he is misunderstood, because people don't realize he is only speaking his feelings from his upbringing, he admitted this multiple times in his books and interviews. He didn't get a record deal until Dr. Dre heard his album the "Slim Shady EP" and instantly he got a record deal and instantly he became famous. Although Eminem was underestimated before he was famous, it took a lot of convincing for Eminem to win respect because of his race, but most people realize hip hop is a social political movement meant for people who grew up in the ghetto to find a voice through hip hop, like Eminem, not for specific races. Eminem is always real, never faked an accent when rapping, always respected the hiphop culture and black history and culture, he is now an iconic legend that will forever be known and continues to inspire many rappers.

Person 1: "do you think Eminem is only famous because he's white?"
Person 2: "no, many rappers now a days are white, and they are not even close to eminems fame, in fact Eminem is the only extremely famous and respected white rapper, people just want to pull the race card out on his because they can't accept that a white rapper is one of the best rappers."

Person H: "Is Eminem overrated?"
Person G: "no, most people don't realize the truth Eminem is speaking in his songs and instantly underestimate him, no rapper has gone as personal in their music as Eminem, no one has put as much emotion in their music as Eminem, take the misunderstood song "Kim" for example, his music is so personal, unique and timeless that it's untouchable, nobody has albums that unique, nothing that personal can be overrated, and adding on his lyrical ability makes him almost underrated, or extremely underestimated. Don't you understand? People want to hear VAGUE music, they don't want to hear the truth, that's why they stay stupid things like 'he's overrated' whichout even breaking down the things he is actually rapping about."

Person Y: "is Eminem a wigger?"
Person Z: "NO, he has always and still does respect black culture, he doesn't fake black accents and he respects cultural appropriation, that's why he raps in his own style, and even if he did rap in a black accent, he grew up in a Black community, so he has a right to, but he shows so much respect that he doesn't rap in a black accent."

One of, or the best rapper out there today. The infamous Eminem doesn't rap about bitches, money or who he just shot. He raps about his life and childhood problems he has encountered. Eminem has been around a long while, and has rapped with people such as Dr.Dre and he has also formed the band D12. Eminem has had another on stage name, which was Slim Shady. His real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers. Eminem performed at many places and has sold an estimated 70 million albums.

The best rapper in my opinion. Like someone else put it "Dosen't just rap about bitches and hoes like other rappers, but about his life experiences and the controversy with his music." I think some of the other people shouldn't even be here because their songs are about shaking laffy taffy's. snapping your fingers, leaning with it and rocking with it. Ever notice those songs are just commands? Even though I like rock (not those dumb boy bands you see on mtv)eminem is in my top 5 favorite artists. Notorious BIG is up there too

The absolute most lyrically insane rapper of all time. His lyrics are almost unhuman in most of his songs....

Eminem: You Liberace's, Versace's, and you nazis
Watch me, cause you thinkin you got me in this hot seat
You motherfuckers wanna JUDGE me cause you're NOT me
You'll never STOP me, I'm TOP speed as you POP me

Eminem is a one time Academy award winning and 10 time Grammy award winning artist - he's got talent and he writes about different things from Kim, to Hallie, to his mother etc.. instead of just girls, money, drugs, sex, pimps etc.. all the time: he goes down the list..

And for anyone who doesn't know this, the first gangster was actually white. So how does he think he is black and how's he acting it? How does a black person supposely act?

Regardless of what color he MAY act.. he actually has alot of talent and creativity.

1: Eminem acts like he's fucking black, it's so annoying and he thinks he's so talented.
2: I want to know how a black person supposely acts and why you think Eminem acts like that.
